Enjoy the Super Bowl with some Twin Lakes beer

The brewery isn’t open on Sundays so you have a few choices.  Come over on Saturday, February 6th between 12 noon & 4 pm and pick up a growler or two so you’ll have some fresh, local, delicious beer to enjoy while watching the Super Bowl at home or bring the growlers to a party with you.  Make sure you get enough because you may be forced to share your beer!

Twin Lakes beer is on tap and most bars & restaurants in Delaware and many in Chester County and Philadelphia.  If you’re out and about and don’t see us on tap- ask for it!

Twin Lakes will be on tap at Theatre N at Nemours in downtown Wilmington for the Super Bowl.  If you haven’t seen a film or a sporting event there- it’s awesome.  The Super Bowl is shown in HD on a movie screen with Dolby surround sound.  Fat Rick’s BBQ is catering “Wilmington’s Largest Indoor Tailgate Party” with an All-You-Can-Eat buffet of ribs, wings, pulled pork, meatballs and more for $19.95.  They will also offer Twin Lakes for $20- one payment for drinking Twin Lakes for the entire game.  Doors open at 5:30 pm.  Food must be ordered in advance at www.theatren.org.  Theatre N is located at 11th & Tatnall Streets and validates parking for $1 at the City Center garage, or you can park free at the metered spaces on the weekends.

Happy New Year!

The Greenville Pale Ale is on tap again!  We kegged the Greenville Pale Ale on Wednesday, so look for it at your favorite bar or restaurant in Delaware, Chester County, PA and select bars & restaurants in Philadelphia.  It’s on tap in the tasting room along with Oktoberfest (get it while it lasts!), Winterthur Wheat and Tweeds Tavern Stout.

Putting the Green in Greenville

Solar panels help produce a truly Green Beer right here in Greenville,DE!

GREENVILLE, Delaware: The brewery is going “green”. New solar enery panels were recently installed at the Twin Lakes American Farm Brewery in Greenville, DE. The 2-kilowatt system is just the start. Plans include making the entire brewery completely energy independent in the near future.

“At its current size, the power generated by the solar panels will be about 5 to 7 amps,” says William Rawheiser of Wise Power Systems of Wilmington, DE, who worked with R. Brown electric on the installation of the panels this February. However the cables laid in the ground running to the panels are capable of handling much more leaving the door open for expansion. The whole system is truly 21st century — power output can be constantly monitored from anyplace on earth via the Internet.

“I was just in Las Vegas the other day and I could tell it was sunny in Delaware because of all the power we were generating,” explains Rawheiser of the new panels. Using a website called FatSpaniel.com and a special user ID, brewery owners can get real-time information on how well their new system is working.

Matt Day, Marketing & Sales Director at Twin Lakes, explained that soon there would be a small hydroelectric generator running in the upper of the two lakes and more solar panels will be going in, “We’re proud that Route 52 is the first scenic byway in the State of Delaware and we want to protect the heritage and environment here,” said Day.
